yes
but the fact is that the reason the music that mtv plays is because it goes nowhere new
its familiar and appeals to the lowest common denominator
thats not what i look for in any kind of art
i dont listen to music for a "nice tune" or whatever, and thats fine if you do
but i have a passion for the art of music, and so the kind of stuff i want to hear, new radical sounds, are not anything thats ever going to played on mtv
